EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 10:00am (AWST) on 22 July 2016 at Suite 6, 245 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco WA 6008.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set out below.

RESOLUTIONS

Part A: Ratification of prior issues of Shares

RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES OF SHARES

Background to the January Share Issue

On 11 August 2015, the Company announced that it was undertaking a pro-rata nonrenounceable rights issue that would allow existing eligible Shareholders of the Company to subscribe for one (1) new Share for every two (2) existing Shares held by the eligible Shareholders (2015 Rights Issue).

The 2015 Rights Issue was completed on 22 September 2015, and the shortfall offer in connection with the 2015 Rights Issue was completed on 14 December 2015.

On 12 January 2016, the Company issued 1,875,000 Shares at the same issue price as the Shares under the 2015 Rights Issue (January Shares). The Company issued the January Shares utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Background to the March and May Share issues

On 22 March 2016, the Company announced that:

  • (a) the Company had completed a share placement of $200,000, via the issue of 40,000,000 Shares (March Shares) at an issue price of 0.5 cents ($0.005) per March Share, which were issued utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (b) the Company would be undertaking a fully underwritten pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue that would allow existing eligible Shareholders of the Company to subscribe for one (1) new Share for every nine (9) existing Shares held by the eligible Shareholders (2016 Rights Issue).

On 4 May 2016, the Company announced that the 2016 Right Issue was closed having been over-subscribed. The Company then issued 14,537,898 Shares (May Shares) utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to fulfil the extra demand.

Background to the June Share issue

On 1 and 6 June 2016, the Company announced that it had completed an over-subscribed share placement of approximately $2.67m (before costs), via the issue of 191,102,751 Shares (June Shares) at an issue price of 1.4 cents ($0.014) per June Share, which were issued utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Background to Resolution 1

Resolution 1 proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the issue and allotment of:

  • (a) 1,875,000 January Shares;
  • (b) 40,000,000 March Shares;
  • (c) 14,537,898 May Shares; and
  • (d) 191,012,751 June Shares.

All of the January Shares, March Shares and May Shares were completed utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. However, in relation to the June Shares, 92,042,499 of the June Shares were issued utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 98,970,252 of the June Shares were issued utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Board of an ASX listed entity to issue up to 15% of the Company's issued capital in any 12 month period without the approval of the Shareholders of the Company.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, certain companies may seek Shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the additional capacity to issue equity securities (which must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of equity securities of the Company) which do not exceed 10% of the existing ordinary share capital without further Shareholder approval. The ability of the Company to make an issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company sought and obtained Shareholder approval at the annual general meeting held on 20 November 2015 to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, which provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The effect of approval of this Resolution 1 is to allow the Board of the Company to issue additional securities within the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional limit under Listing Rule 7.1A after this Resolution is adopted, instead of having to wait 12 months after the issue (in relation to the issues utilising Listing Rule 7.1) and instead of having to reseek Shareholder approval for the additional capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A at this year's annual general meeting (in relation to the issue utilising Listing Rule 7.1A).

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to the January Shares, March Shares, May Shares and June Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

  • (a) The Company issued the following Shares:

    • (i) 1,875,000 January Shares;
    • (ii) 40,000,000 March Shares;
    • (iii) 14,537,898 May Shares; and
    • (iv) 191,012,751 June Shares.
  • (b) The price the Shares were issued is as follows:

    • (i) the January Shares were issued at 0.4 cents ($0.004) per January Share;
    • (ii) the March Shares were issued at 0.5 cents ($0.005) per March Share;
    • (iii) the May Shares were issued at 0.5 cents ($0.005) per May Share; and
    • (iv) the June Shares were issued at 1.4 cents ($0.014) per June Share.
  • (c) All of the Shares were fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (d) The Shares were issued to the following persons:

    • (i) the January Shares were issued to subscribers as part of the shortfall offer under the 2015 Rights Issue;
    • (ii) the March Shares were issued as a placement to sophisticated investors invited by the Company to subscribe for the March Shares, which raised $200,000 (before costs);
    • (iii) the May Shares were issued to satisfy the over-subscriptions received by the Company from Shareholders under the 2016 Rights Issue; and
    • (iv) the June Shares were issued as a placement to sophisticated investors invited by the Company to subscribe for the June Shares, which raised $2,674,178 (before costs).
  • (e) Funds raised from the issue of the January Shares, March Shares, May Shares and June Shares have been and will be used by the Company to provide funds:

    • (i) For the rapid exploration and development of the Company's Arcadia Lithium project including:
      • A. Two diamond drilling campaigns and associated testwork;
      • B. Application and/or acquisition of additional claims within the Arcadia Lithium project area;
      • C. Mine design and plant design;
  • (ii) for capital works in relation to the development of the Company's Gwanda East gold mines including:

    • A. Prestwood Main mine
    • B. Prestwood A mine;
    • C. Bucks Reef mine;
  • (iii) as a working capital buffer in anticipation of the commencement of gold production from the Prestwood Main mine and Prestwood A mine; and

  • (iv) generally strengthen the Company's cash position, for general working capital purposes, and for expenses of each of the capital raisings to which the Shares relate.

Part B: Placement in anticipation of future transactions

RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF FUTURE ISSUE OF SHARES TO NON-RELATED SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS

This Resolution seeks approval for the issue of up to 250,000,000 Shares in the Company at an issue price of no less than 3 cent ($0.03) per Share to non-related, sophisticated investors who will be invited by the Company to take part in the placement (Future Placement).

As at 22 June 2016, the Company has on issue 1,237,128,296 fully paid ordinary shares. Therefore, if all Shares under this Resolution were issued by the Company, this would represent a dilutionary effect of 16.81%.

The effect of this Resolution is to provide Shareholder consent to the issue of the Shares, and for the issue of Shares to fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, which will therefore allow the Directors to issue these Shares without using the Company's annual 15% placement capacity.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

The following information in relation to the Shares is provided to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued is 250,000,000.

  • (b) The Shares will be issued progressively within 3 months of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company (or otherwise, as determined by the ASX in the exercise of their discretion).

  • (c) The Shares are to be issued at a price of no less than 3 cent ($0.03) per Share.

  • (d) The allottees are non-related, sophisticated investors who will be invited by the Company to take part in the Future Placement.

  • (e) The Shares will be fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (f) Assuming that the Company uses the proposed Future Placement facility, the Company intends to use the funds raised under the Future Placement to:

    • (i) fast track the development of the Company's Arcadia Lithium project with the aim of bringing the project into production before most of its peers; and
    • (ii) enable to Company to take advantage of acquisition opportunities within the lithium, cobalt and gold sectors;
    • (iii) for working capital in relation to the development of the Company's Gwanda East gold mines including:
      • A. Prestwood Main mine
      • B. Prestwood A mine;
      • C. Bucks Reef mine;
  • (f) generally strengthen the Company's working capital position and for expenses of the Future Placement.

Part C: Issue of Options to Board, Management and Employees of the Company

The independent Board wishes to remunerate two of its Directors and a number of its employees with unlisted and unvested options (Remuneration Options).

The intended recipients of the Remuneration Options are as follows:

Intended Recipient Relationship with Company Number ofRemuneration Options
Mr Hugh Warner Executive Director and Chairman 35,000,000
MrDuncan(Harry)Greaves Executive Director 35,000,000
Mr Gerry Fahey Non-Executive Director 10,000,000
Certain non-related employees and management of the Company 40,000,000
Total 120,000,000

Table 1 – Remuneration Options

As at 22 June 2016, the Company has on issue 1,237,128,296 fully paid ordinary shares. Therefore, if all Remuneration Options under Resolutions 3 – 6 (inclusive) were issued by the Company, on a fully diluted basis, these Shares (which have been converted from the Remuneration Options) would represent a dilutionary effect of 8.84%.

Related-party shareholder approval for the issue of the Remuneration Options to Messrs Warner, Greaves and Fahey will be considered under Resolutions 3 – 5 (inclusive) of this Notice of Meeting. The balance of the Remuneration Options which are intended for certain non-related employees and management of the Company will be considered under Resolution 6 of this Notice of Meeting.

RESOLUTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 – RELATED PARTY APPROVALS OF FUTURE ISSUE OF REMUNERATION OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

ASX Listing Rule related party approvals

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that the Company, as an ASX listed entity, must not issue equity securities to a related party without Shareholder approval.

A "related party" for the purposes of the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company or a spouse of a director of a public company. Given that Messrs Warner, Greaves and Fahey are existing Directors of the Company, they are all "related parties" of the Company.

Under Resolutions 3 -5 (inclusive), the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue and allotment of:

(a) up to 35,000,000 Remuneration Options to Mr Warner (or his nominee) as part of his remuneration;

  • (b) up to 35,000,000 Remuneration Options to Mr Greaves (or his nominee) as part of his remuneration; and
  • (c) up to 10,000,000 Remuneration Options to Mr Gerry Fahey (or his nominee) as part of his remuneration.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Messrs Warner, Greaves and Fahey are all "related parties" and the issue of Remuneration Options to each of them, constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or
  • (b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The Board (with each affected Director being removed from discussions) carefully considered the issue of these Remuneration Options to each of the intended recipients, and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit to each of them as part of their remuneration, would be reasonable, given the circumstances of the Company and the responsibilities held by each of the relevant Directors as officers of the Company.

In reaching this view, the following considerations were taken into account by the independent Directors:

  • (a) the salary and fees paid to Mr Warner (or his nominee) for FY14, FY15, FY16 and FY17 is as follows:

    • (i) FY14: Mr Warner was paid $20,000 in salary for the 2014 financial year, having agreed to forego his salary for the period from 1 November 2013 to 30 June 2014, in an effort to conserve cash and protect the Company. This salary sum was based on an annual salary of $60,000 (including superannuation). In addition, Mr Warner was granted options which (at the time of the 2014 annual report) had a value of $67,372;
    • (ii) FY15: Mr Warner was not paid any salary and fees for the 2015 financial year, having agreed to not receive any salary in an effort to conserve cash and protect the Company;
    • (iii) FY16: Mr Warner was paid $10,000 in salary for the 2016 financial year, having agreed to forego his salary for the majority of the 2016, for the period from 1 July 2015 to 31 May 2016, in an effort to conserve cash and protect the Company. This salary sum was based on an annual salary of $120,000 (including superannuation). In recognition of the past salaries and fees that had been foregone, Mr Warner was also provided a cash bonus of $50,000. In addition, Mr Warner was granted options which are estimated to have a value of approximately $29,094;and
    • (iv) FY17: As of the date of this Notice, Mr Warner's annual salary remains at $120,000 per annum (including superannuation);
  • (b) the salary and fees paid to Mr Greaves for FY14, FY15, FY16 and FY17 is as follows:

  • (i) FY14: Mr Greaves was not paid any salary for the 2014 financial year, having agreed to not receive any salary in an effort to conserve cash and protect the Company. Mr Greaves, in his capacity as an advisor to Continental Minerals Limited, received shares (as consideration for services provided by Continental Minerals Limited under an exclusivity agreement with the Company to exclusively present mining opportunities, and subsequent performance fees which were achieved following the introduction of mining opportunities) that had a value of $213,995. In addition, Mr Greaves was granted options which (at the time of the 2014 annual report) had a value of $67,372;

  • (ii) FY15: Mr Greaves was not paid any salary for the 2015 financial year, having agreed to not receive any salary in an effort to conserve cash and protect the Company. Mr Greaves received $3,265 for other services provided to the Company;

  • (iii) FY16: Mr Greaves was paid $10,000 in salary for the 2016 financial year, having agreed to forego his salary for the majority of the 2016, for the period from 1 July 2015 to 31 May 2016, in an effort to conserve cash and protect the Company.
